Really?! You shouldn't do what you don't want to? Are you freaking serious?! I'm sure none of us wants to go to work, yet we have to. None of us wants to go to a hospital for any kind of reason, yet we all have to. None of us wants to pay high prices on fuel, yet we all have to. I mean, I could go on but you get my point!
That right there is the worst argument I have ever heard. And it's the reason why Blizzard made this game too casual. "I don't WANT to invest some of my time to actually farm my gear!!! I want it all handed to me by doing 10 min LFG runs!" is basically what you are saying.

On the other side, if there were no dailies people would go around saying "Oh, I'm playing for a week and I've done all there is... I don't want to raid or PvP or whatnot"....

I find the daily quests terrible, and well in fact always have (even the ones during TBC). I'm a healer, my killing speed is nonexistent. The problem I have with them is that there are way too many with poor drop rates. I thought Blizzard had moved away from those but now they're back full force, and they're annoying. Furthermore Golden Lotus is really by far the worst. The quests are annoying, and you get very little rep. But I get through them, sometimes when I really don't feel like them I skip them but I can't understand how Blizzard thinks this is compelling gameplay.

No not even remotely close. It's night and day honestly. Cataclysm had so much more variety in what it did than in mists. Literally 95% of the mists quests were kill and collect. Their was so little variety. I had a couple of flying quests and the one quest to snip the people on top of the mountain. That was it. Go back and do zones in cata and look at the variety again. I tamed a fucking sea horse in cataclysm ffs. I chased bear cubs up a tree and threw them onto trampolines to rescue them. That level of variety wasn't to be found in mists. Well at least in so far as I quested.

I get the point you're trying to make but.. still I don't believe you can compare a video-game for I pay to play with things like having a job or paying for gas or going to hospital.
They are different things in a different reality.... a game is just a game.

I don't think that Blizzard implemented the daily-system as being compelling gameplay.. they just added it to make the content last longer.
They know that there are players who will do them, how mindless and boring they might be.

Or maybe they know that there are players who will see the dailies for what they are. Optional content you can do if you don't have anything better to do.

How dramatic this daily issue has become. Gaming community lulz. It only took me a little over an hour to do my dailies back when I was doing Klaxxi, Golden Lotus (full set), Shado-pan, Anglers, Tillers, August Celestials, Order of the Cloud Serpent and my Orgrimmar cooking, fishing, and jewelcrafting dailies.

I'd imagine it should be even less time for those who don't care about getting to exalted so just stop at revered for VP gear. Or should getting vanity items from exalted be a cakewalk as well?
